Am always fascinated by the brickwork and buildings Ant, as my father and brother were both Brickies - my dad died in the nineties and my brother 'Our John ' just recently - both of whom have now joined that illustrious long-line of historic builders, bless them both. Only the buildings now remain.
Bricklaying is a craft not celebrated enough.im an egineer and enjoy seeing a beautifully built brick syructure as a xhild close t my home stoof a hiuge brick viaductwhich carriedthe mill hill east branch f the london underground northern linemill hill east nranch line.a magnificent struucture!😊
The middle bridge is where the two 8ft pipes from originally Derwent, Hawden plus the later Ladybower reservoirs runup to a crossing under the A625 an along under Froggatt edge, through Chatsworth park to Nottingham and Leicester. Just follow the valve houses and the breather ports.
Fascinating explore in beautiful woodland. Thank you! Those tunnels were certainly built to last, and the one beneath the railway does indeed resemble a miniature railway tunnel. I wonder what that moth-eaten old pipe carried?
Thanks for this video Ant, lived in the peak district ( also born there) for a few years and have walked this trail without even knowing it's name. Was over in UK last summer and actually drove on that road.
Ant, what great weather you had, "Spring has Sprung." The drone shots really help tell the story with much more detail. So much history, so little time........
another lovely video once again ant. very good editing on this one ....... i dont know how you do it but you could make a video about paint drying and you would make it interesting . thank you ant .
At 16:53, it looks like an old sluice gate, but you can't see what is behind it, because of the private land. Maybe the old pipe was part of an old sewerage system that has been replaced.
Thank you very much for this very interesting and informative video presentation which is very much appreciated. The stonework of these culverts is very impressive and the consideration of the behaviour of the water is certainly well thought out. The stepped culvert under the railway seems to be to slow the water down as it makes its way, ultimately, to the sea. If they had not done this it would have formed a gorge due to its speed after coming through the culvert which in turn could destabilise the embankment. They thought of everything. It is a pity that they did not use stone, now, in its natural form, in construction as that would be far better for the environment and far more pleasing to the eye!
Great video, Ant. So glad we saw Totley tunnel too! I have been to Grindleford, but never knew that the culvert ran underneath! Incidentally, I always wondered why it is called a tunnel if rails run through it, but a culvert if water does! Lovely music too, as always.
Back in the early 60s I cycled there from Sheffield with a school friend. We'd be 12 or 13 years old. We walked through that culvert at the Toads Mouth. It was Summer and dry so it was only a trickle of water. About a mile upstream from there, the Bubidge Brook is joined by a tributary. A little further still upstream, they pass under the road from Ringinglow to Hathersage. Have you explored them?
Absolutely stunning Ant. Those pictures through the tunnels are something special. Thanks for sharing.

It's lovely that they have left there mark on the land to be remembered for many years to come 😄

Excellent as always. I've hiked extensively in the Peak District over 40 years and am still discovering new things from your videos.
Stunning. What an experience going through all these culverts. Amazing filming. Well done. What a joy to watch. Thank you.
Thanks very much Shirley very kind
Thanks!
Fantastic Ant ... That "Under and over shot" at@03:30 was bloody amazing !!
Yeah I just gave it a go and blended the music in I thought it worked well 😊
@@TrekkingExploration Sure did !
Another great diverse video.Excellent filming.Cheers Ant.
Thanks as always 😃

I have fond memories of Padley Gorge and Grindies (station cafe). Made it a must watch for me.
Thanks very much for watching Peter ☺️
A lovely and tranquil video Ant, thanks. Lovely photography & drone footage, very professional. I enjoyed it.
Very kind Martin thanks so much
Another enjoyable video from that part of the country. You keep finding these amazing places. Thank you...all the best.
Thanks very much Tim very kind
Well worth watching, Ant and I love the choice of music to accompany your video, very haunting. Beautiful stone work on the tunnels.
Hi very enjoyable video to watch I love the history of the places that you visited are you going to do any more wild camping this year at all.
Thanks very much 😄
Funnily enough I was checking all my gear earlier this week. I really want to do one soon
That would be great i will be tuned in to watch that all the very best
Great video keep up the good work !!
Very kind Alan thank you 😊
Another great video. Will be going to the Peak District in a few weeks - can't wait.
I hope you have a good day when you go 😊
Brilliant video, just love these tunnels, especially the second one with all the tiled areas.
Fascinating explore in beautiful woodland. Thank you! Those tunnels were certainly built to last, and the one beneath the railway does indeed resemble a miniature railway tunnel. I wonder what that moth-eaten old pipe carried?
WONDERFUL PRESENTATION. Thank you
Thanks very much indeed
Great video and exploration, beautiful pictures
Thanks very much for watching
looks like an interesting walk thanks for sharing x
Thanks very much Jan 😊
Beautiful scenery. I liked the first culvert best, but your photo's always make tunnels/ culverts look so beautiful (even with rusty pipes)
Glad you enjoyed it Sheila thanks very much

Ant, what great weather you had, "Spring has Sprung." The drone shots really help tell the story with much more detail. So much history, so little time........
There wasn't much opportunity for the drone but I got it in where I could 😊
another lovely video once again ant. very good editing on this one ....... i dont know how you do it but you could make a video about paint drying and you would make it interesting . thank you ant .
One of my favourite places in The Peaks!
Been there my times and will take a look.
Many thank again Ant! Regards Joe
It's stunning all year round isn't it? Thanks very much 😊
Yes it certainly is! Had many happy holidays there before my wife got Parkinson’s .
Great content as usual Ant. Thanks for taking us on your adventures.
Thanks very much indeed
Great little finds Ant, No.1 gets my vote (sorry, each to his own😂😂) We had cuckoo down here today!!👍 Don't those Class 70s offend the eye!!!!!!
Number one is definitely more intricate Isn't it? I was lucky to get those freights at the tunnel
At 16:53, it looks like an old sluice gate, but you can't see what is behind it, because of the private land. Maybe the old pipe was part of an old sewerage system that has been replaced.
Sewage for the pipe is what I thought too. Maybe from the properties and disused once better sewage works were installed
I'm currently in the area and have visited a few of the sites seen in your videos, a great bit of inspiration and backstory, cheers for that!
Thanks very much for watching. I'm glad you enjoyed it
Crackin' triplet Ant. Very well done.
Thanks very much for watching Ray
Great place with some great views, thanks for the upload!
Thanks very much for watching

I got lucky with the two freight trains coming along. It's a good question isn't it?

No I've not been up that far. Is it worth a visit?
Thank you for the walking tour this day. Always hit a home run with them! I love them. Enjoy your weekend, Ant. Cheers mate! 🇬🇧🙂👍🇺🇸
Thanks very much Martin. I hope you are ok
@@TrekkingExploration Still trudging along, thanks for asking, Ant! 🙏🏻🇬🇧🇺🇸
I do like to see man made structures in a natural environment.
Especially when they blend in so well
Interesting video Ant, . Just a theory but does that tunnel in Grindleford culvert head to Totley tunnel
Cheers Russ
Hey Ant, if your following a River - why are you not wearing Wellies??? Then it won't matter if you get your feet wet!!! 😉🚂🚂🚂
Too shallow for wellies and spare shoes in my bag
